Block a Week Friday

Block 69

Twin Triangles

Knitting this was easy and fun, I made it my way because increasing in the way described in the book leave holes up the sides so if anyone would like to try it.Cast on 3 stsFirst row - inc in 1st and last st = 5 sts (right side)Second row - Knit Third row - k1, inc in next st, k to last 2 sts, inc in next st, k1Fourth row - Knit repeat last two rows until you have 43 sts then..Knit one rowChange yarn colourK1, k2tog, knit to last 3 sts, k2 tog, k1. (right side)Knit one rowRepeat the last 2 rows until there are 3 sts remainingk3tog

This a great beginners block, also good for using up your yarn scraps, you could join your blocks to make all sorts of variations. I had to make four just for the fun of it...

All the blocks in the Block a Week Friday feature are blocks made from the book 200 Knitted Blocks by Jan Eaton. You can read all about the challenge here and here, the challenge is on going and it's never too late to join in!Hope you all have a great weekend. :)

Hi Linda, just catching up now that I am back, I have been reading, just not commenting. I loved what you did with your ends and flowers in your previous post, very creative indeed and a lovely display piece for your home too! You really are a clever lady aren't you. These squares look great as a four don't they, you could imagine a whole blanket made of them. xx

Thank you for your visit, I will always answer any questions but due to time constraints I'm not always able to reply to your comments, please keep them coming I read and appreciate each and every one. xx
